What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound?

I have bought six or seven different power cords, none over $500 and have noticed little or no change in the sound of my system. All the cables are 12 gauge or bigger.  Without talking about cables made with unobtainium, where did you start hear a difference.
 

Thanks.

Shunyata Taipen around 2010 ,  A small increase in bass, but in every setup  I've used in in , lots of air in highs. Sounds a little unnatural after a little while.

Nordost Blue Heaven.  When I connected them in, much blacker background.  That showed me power cords make a difference. As my system has changed so have the cables.  I am now running full loom of Kubala Sosna Emotion.  Best move I ever made.

Shunyata Black Mamba on sources and 2 BMI Whale Elite on amp which requires 2 power cords. Much quieter back drop the music was presented in. I still have them. I use Wireworld Silver Electra 7's on my digital front end now.
